  • Philippine Music Instruments CORAZON CANAVE-DIOQUINO Music Instruments, Mechanisms That Produce Sounds, Have Been Used for Various Purposes
    Philippine Music Instruments CORAZON CANAVE-DIOQUINO Music instruments, mechanisms that produce sounds, have been used for various purposes. In earlier times they were also used as an adjunct to dance or to labor. In later civilizations, instrumental music was used for entertainment. Present day musicological studies, following the Hornbostel-Sachs classification, divide instruments into the following categories: idiophones, aerophones, chordophones, and membranophones. Idiophones Instruments that produce sound from the substance of the instrument itself (wood or metal) are classified as idiophones. They are further subdivided into those that are struck, scraped, plucked, shaken, or rubbed. In the Philippines there are metal and wooden (principally bamboo) idiophones. Metal idiophonse are of two categories: flat gongs and bossed gongs. Flat gongs made of bronze, brass, or iron, are found principally in the north among the Isneg, Tingguian, Kalinga, Bontok, Ibaloi, Kankanai, Gaddang, Ifugao, and Ilonggot. They are most commonly referred to as gangsa . The gongs vary in sized, the average are struck with wooden sticks, padded wooden sticks, or slapped with the palm of the hand. Gong playing among the Cordillera highlanders is an integral part of peace pact gatherings, marriages, prestige ceremonies, feasts, or rituals. In southern Philippines, gongs have a central profusion or knot, hence the term bossed gongs. They are three of types: (1) sets of graduated gongs laid in a row called the kulintang ; (2) larger, deep-rimmed gongs with sides that are turned in called agung , and (3) gongs with narrower rims and less prominent bosses called gandingan . These gongs may be played alone but are often combined with other instruments to form various types of ensembles.

  • Philippine Bamboo Instruments
    Philippine Bamboo Instruments PHILIPPINE BAMBOO INSTRUMENTS Corazon Dioquino Abstract Bamboo abounds in the Philippines and boasts of several hundred species. They are used in many ways, principally as a timber substitute in building abodes. Some species are used for fishing poles, digging, or plant props. They serve as water pipes as well as water carriers. Their outer barks, when peeled off, are woven into mats or sheets (sawali) used as walls and dividers in homes, or for baskets. Their shoots are used for food and some bamboos provide medicine. Their abundance accounts for the variety of music- making devices that have been fashioned out of it. Some of the instruments are blown; others are plucked or even struck. Thus, we have aerophones, chordophones, and idiophones. Keywords: organology, playing techniques, music-culture area mapping of music instruments, music ensemble practice, comparison of music instruments AEROPHONES Instruments that produce sound when blown are called aerophones. Sound is produced in these instruments by the vibration of the air within. Aerophones are further subdivided into groups depending on how the vibration is generated. Thus, there are flutes, reeds, cupped mouthpiece instruments, and free aerophones. Bamboo flutes are widespread in the Philippines. They are mostly end-blown wherein the air stream is directed against the sharp rim of the open upper end of the tube by the player’s lips. There are, however, variations in the shape of the blow hole. Nose flute. The nose flute is widespread in northern Philippines. It is made of a length of buho bamboo of about half a meter Humanities Diliman (January-December 2008) 5:1-2, 101-113 101 Dioquino with a node on one end.
